Super heavy duty custom made mooring pennants. Two 8' double-braid 3/4" pennants on stainless steel thimbles on galv. pear. Used one season. $100. Were great for my 2520XL but my mooring ball was too small to support the weight of the thimbles and pear so kept rolling over....

This past week 150-200 bottlenose dolphins were seen cruising through LI Sound and dipping into the harbors. The video attached to this new story shows the Northport Harbor Master commenting aboard his trusty Parker... http://www.newsday.com/news/local/suffo ... 1736.story

I recently bought and received one from this seller. He has no picture on his listing which I think hurt his bidding. I was the only bidder at $.99 and won. He has another for sale with no bidders. Great deal for whoever needs one. This goes for as much as $62 elsewhere. Stainless mounting...

Please find a craigslist link to a listing for my good friend's 27' Albin. I know some Parker fans also appreciate a nice Albin now and then.... http://longisland.craigslist.org/boa/651186862.html

My bulkhead steering station seemed a bit naked so I added a flush-mounted compass and stereo remote over the winter. Both were found on West Marine clearance tables...

Have been seeing lots of pre-release press on this new Shimano fishing "system". I'm not sure I buy into the whole system (rod, reel, line, jig) but I am interested in how the jigs work on bottom species. Looks like a fun way to make bottom fishing more interesting. An article in the current...

Sorry if this has come up before...I am looking at the 2820 pics in Parker catalog and website and see this stainless thingy mounted on the starboard swim platform. I can't find anything in the available options section that seem to apply. Is it a fishing/casting pulpit? Diving accessory...

Used 1/2 boating season, this incredible unit is preloaded with maps for U.S. coastal areas and North America street maps for easy land and sea navigation. I bought it for my second station but realized I could see my dash-mounted unit well-enough not to justify keeping both. Also received a...

Yesterday I was sadly removing the contents of my Parker 2520XL in anticipation of hauling tomorrow. I had my 6-year old with me. I took a an armload of stuff to the car and instructed him not to leave the cabin. Upon my return a minute later he was nowhere to be found. After a frantic look...

I was changing a wiper blade today when I noticed a disturbing horizontal crack above the port windshield, about 18" in length. Looks to be in the gelcoat only. None visible on the starboard side. Interesting because I often keep the starboard window open when underway, rarely the port. I will...

I've noticed that the caulk along the horizontal joint has completely separated from one side. Water can get behind it. I plan on recaulking the seam but would like to know what is behind there and if any damage can be done in the meanwhile.

Learned somewhat late that the Whitewater event is on for this Sunday morning at The Riverview in Oakdale on the Great South Bay. This will be my first one but it looks like a fun event from last year's posts. If you bought your Parker from Whitewater you should have gotten an invite. Call you...

My wife got me a cool Father's Day gift - a tall aluminum folding directors chair for my outside steering station. It has a 31" seat height which is perfect for a straight view through the cabin windshield. It folds flat and is extremely light. I usually lay it down before doing any major speed...

Splashing on Friday with new Morse controls on a new second station as well as the cabin. Having never operated them before are there any tips you can provide for making the transition from the single Yammie throttle? Anything to speed up my trial and error period would be appreciated. Any...

Check out this custom nautical chart/artwork I had done. It was done by Alan J. Robinson who now exhibits at many of the boat shows. I know I'm not the only one who's had this done because I saw another Parker in his portfolio (was it anyone on this forum?) Alan can make a custom portrait of...

I'm looking to mount a kayak to the pilothouse roof of my 2520XL to keep on hand for flyfishing skinny water, getting to the beach, etc. I could probably just tie down on foam blocks and secure to rails but would like a cleaner, more permanent solution. I suspect I could modify car rack...

Has anyone seen a plexi instrument panel cover to protect the OEM switches? My panel is placed near the cabin entry and my toddlers are constantly messing with them. I'm particularly concerned about the wipers being activated when the front windows are open, potentially breaking the arms. There...

Can anyone give me a ballpark cost that I should expect to hear from my dealer should I decide to pursue this addition to my 2520XL? I've seen the great project threads from those who have done this themselves but I am less mechanically inclined to tackle. I have found that I can live without...

I searched the posts but couldn't find any reference to anyone having upgraded to the Lenco indicator switch which shows trim tab position and automatically retracts. I am thinking of doing this. It looks like a quick and easy project. They're relatively expensive ($299 Overtons, $207 ebay.)...
